Accounting for 800,000 deaths annually, CVD frequently goes unnoticed until it is too late. Early detection and prevention measures can save the lives of many patients who have CVD. Conducting an assessment of the heart, lungs, and peripheral vascular system is one of the first steps that can be taken to detect CVD and many more conditions that may occur in the thorax, or chest area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This week, you will evaluate abnormal findings in the area of the chest and lungs. In addition, you will appraise health assessment techniques and diagnoses for the heart, lungs, and peripheral vascular system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photo Credit: ANDRZEJ WOJCICKI\/Science Photo Library\/Getty Images<\/small><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/strong> To access this week\u2019s required library resources, please click on the link to the Course Readings List, found in the Course Materials<\/strong> section of your Syllabus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ball, J.

Feel your chest contract as you exhale. How might this experience be different for someone with chronic lung disease or someone experiencing an asthma attack?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to adequately assess the chest region of a patient, nurses need to be aware of a patient\u2019s history, potential abnormal findings, and what physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted to determine the causes and severity of abnormalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this Discussion, you will consider how a patient\u2019s initial symptoms can result in very different diagnoses when further assessment is conducted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/strong> By Day 1<\/strong> of this week, your Instructor will have assigned you to one of the following specific case studies for this Discussion. Also, your Discussion post should be in the Episodic\/Focused SOAP Note format, rather than the traditional narrative style Discussion posting format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic\/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance.
